Reflecting on LLaVA: Teaching LLMs to see via visual encoder projection
alec_helbling · x · 2026-08-26
The author marvels at the rapid progress of multi-modal LLMs and revisits the original LLaVA paper. The paper demonstrated a simple method: by projecting visual encoder features into an LLM's embedding space, a pre-trained model could be taught to see.
